Starting with Family Portraits of their Son

Look at that adorable face! We started with individual family portraits of their son to get the shoot started.

And here is the little guy with an umbrella.

The Bamboo Forest at the Cal State Fullerton Arboretum

One of our favorite parts of the CSU Fullerton Arboretum is the bamboo forest they have growing next to a small stream. It creates a unique and distinct look to the photos, along with it being fun for the little son to shake!

And here is the whole family in the bamboo forest.

There is also a small bridge going over the stream that makes for great family photos.

And whenever we get the chance we love to play with the fall leaves on the ground.

Family Photos at the Cal State Fullerton Arboretum’s Small Pond

There is a small pond in the center of the arboretum that has palm trees and other vegetation.

And the Orange Orchard

The toddler son was having a ball picking oranges straight from the tree in the orange orchard.

Cal State Fullerton Arboretum Family Photos

This is a family photography portrait session at the CSU Fullerton Arboretum. Cal State Fullerton is located in North Orange County, located along the 57 freeway. This family has one child (a son) and had their family portraits with a bamboo forest, streams, bridges, ponds, and lots of trees and greenery. There is no better natural setting for photos than an arboretum. This location is such a gem, it only requires a voluntary donation at the front entrance. We highly recommend leaving a donation to support such a great local resource and location. In the least, it’s a great garden to stroll around to clear your mind.

The Fullerton Arboretum requires a photography permit, so make sure you secure one if you plan a session. Know that it is basically a donation to an awesome place.

Starting with Portraits of their Son

We started by getting family portraits of of just their son.

Then we had the whole family get together for photos.

Having Fun with Leaves at the Fullerton Arboretum

The fall leaves were a lovely shade of yellow, so what better way to keep a toddler boy entertained than to play with the leaves!?

Fullerton Arboretum Family Photography with Bamboo

Then we walked over to the bamboo forest there at the Fullerton Arboretum, starting in front of the picturesque little bridge crossing the small stream.

Then we got some maternity photos of just the pregnant couple together.

I just love how this tree and it’s light brown leaves (or needles) came out in the photo.

Family Photography Fullerton Arboretum

This is a Fullerton Arboretum family photography and maternity photography session of the {L} family, who is pregnant with their second child. They have one son already. They chose the Cal State Fullerton Arboretum and Botanic Garden, a local treasure at the local college. It has several ecosystems, including a bamboo forest and tons of trees. We were lucky to get bright yellow leaves for the fall leaves. You can find more examples of family photos at botanic gardens in Southern California on our website. We have tagged each and every article with keywords to help you find a portrait session that hopefully matches what you are looking to do. That way you can see how Judy does family photos with different locations, different settings, and different family configurations.

The Fullerton Arboretum was originally an orange orchard, but had to be replaced as the orange orchard suffered from disease. And that was the start of the Fullerton Arboretum. Since then it’s been a source of community cooperation and a treasure of the area. It runs off of voluntary donations, so anyone can take a stroll around its amazing grounds.
